Development of Fault Diagnosis System for Telemetry Equipment based on the Virtual Instrument Technology

A fault diagnosis system based on the Client/Server mode is developed, which realizes the purpose of diagnosing the Telemetry Equipment placing on the station address through local or IP network. And the fault method uses the fault tree to describe the logic relation between fault nodes. And the fault tree is realized by virtual instrument. The signal acquisition module uses PXI architecture, the interactive user interface is develops under LabVIEW graphical software and the data storage uses SQL server database platform. The developed fault diagnosis system can realize the functions of information management on instrument and fault node, fault detection or location, and device remote control. Now this system is used in test area, which improves the telemetry equipment maintenance rate.
